WOW! If it's what I think it is, yes, WWII. Made by Collins & Co, not a huge collector's value unless it's with the box and unrusted. At least I don't think there would be. <br><br>If the blade isn't rusted to worthlessness, get a professional sharpener to do the first, referbishing sharpening and ask them to show you how to sharpen a machete- it isn't like a hurting knife. And learn carefully, A machete is argueably the best general purpose chopper around if know how to use it. But I've got a nice scar from a slip while I was learning to use them properly.
